  • the refractive index of the coupler particles or ultraviolet absorbent particles not only in a gelatin layer wetted by a processing solution but also in a dry gelatin layer is not, in general, equivalent to that of the gelatin in that layer, the particles of the coupler or the ultraviolet absorbent cause light scattering and make the gelatin layer opaque to some extent. Accordingly, in order that the emulsion layer containing the dye images has high transparency, it is necessary to reduce the size of the particles inthe emulsion.

  • the oleophilic materials can be dispersed finely by emulsification in a photographic emulsion without reducing the photographic properties and, further, by using the emulsified dispersion thus prepared, excellent photographic light-sensitive materials can be obtained.
  • the nonionic surfaceactive agent used in this invention contributes to minimize remarkably the formation of bubbles and foam in the dispersion and an anionic surface active agent and to facilitate the dispersion process. This fact will be clearly confirmed by the experimental results of Example 3 described hereinafter.-
  • nonionic surface active agent of this type By using the nonionic surface active agent of this type, it becomes possible to disperse oleophilic materials as finer particles. This is believed to be due to, in addition to the above-described increase in the efficiency of dispersion by the reduction in the formation of foam, the reduction in the surface tension between the oil phase and aqueous phase to a quite low level by the cooperation of the hydrophilic material, the anionic surface active agent, and the nonionic surface active agent. The fact that fine dispersed particles are formed by the use of the nonionic surface active agent of this type will become clear from the results of the examples of this invention shown hereinafter.
  • the amount of the anionic surface active agent used in the dispersion of these materials can be reduced. If a large proportion of an anionic surface active agent is present in a photographic emulsion at the coating thereof, the surface tension of the coating liquid is extremely reduced and thus when two or more photographic emulsions are coated simultaneously, the coatings tend to become uneven in thickness. On the other hand, because the amount of the anionic surface active agent in the present invention is less, the multilayer coating for color photographic light-sensitive materials can be uniformly and easily practiced.
  • the nonionic surface active agent used in this invention is slightly soluble in water and has a low HLB value, the photographic emulsion containing the surface active agent has less foaming tendency and the stability of the emulsified dispersion is improved.
  • the nonionic surface active agent is incorporated alone in a photographic emulsion and the photographic emulsion is coated on a support, the coating liquid tends to be repelled on the support, is not easily spread over the surface of the support, and thus uneven coatings are obtained.
